Janda does not look hostile at all.. she's just one of the girls it seems lol. i can't believe people hunt these beautiful spiritual animals. it is my dream to have a relationship like this with a tiger, but i know it takes a lot of paitence and courage to do so. thanks for the inspiration =] keep up the good work!
Hand feeding a grown up tiger? I dont care if u find it exciting or whatever/ U should respect that tiger's nature is not the one u promote with this video. We have also given shelter to hurt animals but for the whole time we tried simulate their natural way of being. U turn a proud animal into a pet for your own satisfaction here.
Shouldn't they try to make the animals feed somehow like they feed in the wild. I don't think they should have this type of relationship with people...
obviously this tiger has been reallly spoil, look how out of shape it looks. it needs to exercise and maintain it's natural figure by catching preys. This is not how a wild animal suppose to live. It's being domesticated in an obscene way to only preserve it's true natural behavior.
I've always believed we could have relationships like this with big cats. The pictures of the volunteers lying down and cuddling with the tigers brought tears to my eyes. One of the items on my "bucket list" is to pet a tiger, so if I ever make it down to Florida, I will look you up. A donation is on the way to you now.
It is unfortunate that it is now no longer a realistic option to return tigers to the wild. Administering care in a sanctuary is now the next best thing, and these big ol' kitties seem to have found themselves in a loving and comfortable home alongside humans. Keep up the good work!
i can't believe the comments i read here,some people really forget that there is nothing worse in world than humans.You say that tigers belongs to the wild,but i think we forgot where humans belong,we belong in our houses and in our own nature not in the wild where they live and killing them for skin.your work is really perfect i believe they are protected there with you congratulations you are doing great and don't listen some people here,the only wild for them are only humans now.
@XxComablackxX1937 they don't strive in the wild? you delusional moron get your head out of the clouds and back to reality. THEY BELONG IN THE WILD! they're not pets. they are hunters and want to hunt. these tigers will probably end up being shot because people are stupid in taking them in a pets they THINK they can control.
if u want a tiger as a pet why don't u go live where they are in their natural habitat isn't of bringing them out of it.
Absolutely amazing video! Thank you for caring for suck beautiful animals, you can see the reward on your faces. Its people like you that deserve such a great experience.. And I hope you found him a mate, it looked like you had a female in heat somewhere close.
Amazing video, though it is sad that we require sanctuaries to preserve our most majestic species. At least these big guys have an even bigger and loving family to care for them
BTW, I'm truly disgusted by people who choose to flaunt their wealth by eating or wearing tiger parts. Have they forgotten about the teaching of Confucius on modesty & mercy? Unfortunately, it will take decades before the culture & ethic in China catch up to its rapid economic growth.
I have not seen such respect and care for animals...... This kind of understanding can only be seen in devotion not only mently, physically but also it needs to be felt by the soul. I see here souls talking to each other than just bodies This kind of devotion and love ..... Hats off to all of you guys.......
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if they really loved those tigers they would have tried to find away to return them to the wild
tigers are the most dangerous of the big cats they know nothing about love if they get hungery there going to eat the first piece of meat that comes near them no matter how much that piece of meat loves them.
In less than 2 months, 15 tigers have died in tiger reserves in India. How is it going to benefit to release one lone captive bred tiger into the wild where it will most likely die from starvation, or being killed by poachers. our cats, being hand fed 3 times a day, they no nothing other than that silver bowl for their food source, so no, they will never be hungry, and never see us as "food".
@HFRealty MY STATEMENT WAS IF YOU REALLY LOVED THOSE TIGERS YOU WOULD AT SOME POINT BEFORE THEY BECAME DEPENDANT ON YOU, DONE ALL YOU COULD TO RETURN THEM TO THE WILD LIKE IN THE MOVIE BORN FREE THE EDMUNSONS LOVED ELSA SO MUCH THEY WHERE WILLING TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF HER DIEING TO SEE HER FREE AND NOT IN A CAGE.
@OUTOFGAS88 So will humans, as a matter of fact. If a human is starving and has no choice but to eat a beloved pet, he will do so or die. It is not because the human knows nothing about love, it is because of the survival instinct.
@nhlpens the only reason your saying my view is narrow is because it does'nt agree with yours . i live in ohio where a white guy owened about fifty big cats that he let lose before taking his owen life. the police where forced to shoot and kill everyone of the cats , so up your ass with that bullshit ,
Don't be afraid of pitbulls. Do what i do, KEEP A NINE INCH BLADE HOLSTERED ON YOUR HIP AT ALL TIMES WHEN WALKING THROUGH A PITBULL INFESTED NEIGHBOORHOOD! and if you don't like it.........FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Man i wish i had a tiger to sick on these annoying pitbulls in my neighboorhood. And don't be alarmed animal lovers. Im only talkin about the ones that are forcefully taught to be violent. Fuckin mut almost killed my little brother one day. Go Mike VIck, let em kill each other!!
This is amazing. I don't even have this kind of bond with my house cat. Knowing what temperamental animals felines can be, it's amazing how comfortable Janda is around you. No fear, no stress, and true companionship. You all are doing a fantastic job, and I hope your work and ideals can continue on forever.
Tounge cleaner at 2:09 - 2-34. I wonder what Janda would say after licking the toe of her keeper Heheh.. She opened her mouth and let her tounge out then said Gezzzzzz.. what a smell... (roar) xD.. She probably does't like the smelly toe.. heheh
Thank you so much for your kind words, it is people like you who need to fill this world. Thank you, we are devoted to our animals, and just wanting to show a little inside peak into our lives with them!
to put a little logic into practice.... these cats are captive bread , and have been for the last 7-10 generations. no one has take'en a tiger out of the wild since the early 70's . the way a cats react to what you do is a direct product of that. and the character that they display is a direct result of how they are treated and rasied. from what I see and my expierence with Big cats is that they want for nothing. I wish you the best ....
One can nott blame people for having mixed feelings about these beautiful cats so close to humans. I am a tiger person myself, meaning I l absolutely love them, but would be very afraid to be that close. I do appreciate the video and offort to show that they are magneficent and gengle animals.
Very Social! and that is what we try to make sure when they are growing up, and now, they never meet a stranger! They know that people are good, and they are their friends. Human and Animal!
We work hands-on with our cats from the day they come home, we do educational presentations for the pulic, and have to be hands on, and to keep a well-balanced relationship with them.
They dont usually sleep in the tub, but do sometimes cat-nap! It is hilarious when they dose off and their head slips into the water, they get all startled and then look around to make sure no one saw them!
Excuse me, but this video was donated to our facility, and was done totally free-hand around our cats. We are very appreciative for the donation of their time and effort in putting it together, and your sarcastic remark is NOT welcome!
@jnjrod613 I dont know these people, but I know cats a bit..
On this footage you can not tell what the enclosure really is like, but what you can tell is, that these are cats being very well socialized and they seem to be very content too.
Socialized captive animal are of course happier than the ones that are not!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh yes they are worth saving but who is gaining by living in the hands of people who may be hurt and I don't see their facilities are the greatest. Do they have room to run? Ponds to swim in or Grass under their feet? NO they live in very small cages, with a tub of water and NO GRASS. Tigers live where there is grass and ponds and enrichment.......................
We have owned and worked with a WIDE range of big cats for over 30 years, we know the risks working with big cats as any other owner, handler, volunteer, caretaker, etc. And it is the same risks as any other profession, whether it be a race-car driver, a sky diver, or everyday common folk that work in risk-related jobs, we choose to work with these cats and in turn, know the risks.
If you notice, our enclosure is sand-filled, which if you ever have walked on a beach you know how much of a workout it is, this is the same for our cats. In the beginning we had grass in their enclosure. The reason we do not have grass is because the pee of the cats kills the grass, so therefore, there is no grass for them to kill off.
If you look in the wild, most tigers are found in forests which have no grass, it has rocky, leaf and tree debri, and the times they are found in grassy areas is when they are traveling between their territories. Tigers are not lions, they are not found out in grassy meadows or savannahs, they use the forest to camouflauge themselves, that is also why they have stipes, to break up their bodies with the trees.
Sounds like TigerLady111 should spend her time doing some research, instead of bashing the people who actually know what their talking about when it comes to Tigers.
Wow, these tigers are lucky to have such an awesome place to live and such great people to take care of them. I hope that when people see this, they realize these creatures are worth saving.
The people dissin' these people, you don't have a friggin' clue what your talking about. 98% of the enclosure is dirt and the cats have been raised with extreme loving care by two very well trained people. I know them personally and they love these cats more than anything and they are NOT considered pets. They know full well what power lies behind these magnificent animals and they respect that most of all. Sooooo SHUT IT!
Where do you work? I would love to do this for a living someday. I'm thinking about taking classes in school for it. I can see it as being extremely rewarding. Great vid! Thanks for sharing.
This is such a good video! Janda is so big, soft, and lovable! I love how she hugs the volunteers.
